This K750 is a wireless keyboard that is powered by solar energy. This means no cables and batteries needed which make it environment and user friendly.

The Logitech Solar App lets you know the amount of battery power remaining plus the amount of power the keyboard gets from the lamp. Although the K750 is wireless, connectivity is not an issue since it uses long-range connection that allows you to work and play in different areas, eliminates delays, dropouts and interference thanks to advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology.

Are you a photography geek? Someone who can’t leave your home without your DSLR camera hanging from your neck? You go snap, snap, snap (or click, click, click, whatever) whenever there’s an opportunity to take a photoâ€”until the battery dies. If you’ve been into the photography world for quite a long time now, you know the frustration that comes with finding a perfect opportunity to shoot only to find out that the battery of your camera is already drained. Frustrating, wouldn’t you agree? Take a look at the new Solar Camera Strap.

This new strap is like other straps in any way, except that it can charge your camera! Unbelievable? Well, it’s the truth! How can the strap do this? The answer is solar technology! The strap is equipped with thin solar films that harness energy from the sun while you take pictures or simply hang your gadget down your neck. When not in use, you can even simply place it where it can be exposed to the sun for it to collect energy. This way, you’ll always have access to extra power whenever the need arises.

The Solar Camera Strap is designed by designer Weng Jie. It’s perfect for DSLR cameras given that these kinds of camera do not consume a lot of power. At this point, the said strap is only but a concept, so it’s not yet in the market. There are no specific details yet regarding such things as how to charge the camera with the strap, for example, so we all still have to wait.

Light plays a very important role in the life of many individuals and families. It is with this knowledge that we grieve for people in some developing countries who are deprived of light, and for those who still need to spend a lot just to have light in their homes. And, it is also with this same knowledge that we welcome with gratitude innovations aimed at helping these people get out of darkness. New discoveries such as Nokero’s solar light bulb are welcome innovations.

The solar light bulb is specifically designed to address the needs of people who still use fossil-fuel lanterns for their lighting needs. Fossil fuels are not only expensive; they’re also dangerous to the environment and human health because of the carbon dioxide that they emit and the greater possibility of fire risks associated with their use. The Nokero solar bulb is less expensive because you can simply charge it out in the sun to give it power. A whole day of charging can yield two hours of lighting use, while a full charge can give you double the amount of light (up to four hours). Charging is done with the help of the four solar panels in the bulb. It also comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts for more than a couple of years. The bulb is about the size of an incandescent bulb and is rain-proof. It’s made from impact-resistant plastic materials and comes with five LEDs.

The Nokero solar light bulb is an effective solution to the lighting needs of many individuals. If you check online, you’ll also find a line-up of solar light bulb at Amazon, each designed to preserve the environment and help families.
